Talk:Red Pikmin
I wonder if Pikmin can actualy smell?

These ones do have noses, so i suppose that is a question worth thinking about next week or something... But, if any can, they all can, or... *Head asplodes*. to many theroum to evaluate. compute. compute. Overload. I am rocky0718 and i PWN
- The nose isn't a nose it is a weapon, plants can't smell, or taste... or see, hear, probably can't feel, I'm gonna go watch mythbusters in a while yay. I like vanilla. NO NON-SEQUITOR ATTACK! I'm ~Crystal
Lucario~ And I approve this message.
- Smell like we smell, or just smell as in picking up chemical information from the environment? I think people have proposed before that Pikmin communicate with chemical signals, and while there isn't actually any hard evidence to suggest this, I wouldn't put it past them. If they were to be able to smell like we do though, they would need lungs for a start, and I'm not sure they have them. Also, Crystal, speculating a bit much about the nose being a weapon, aren't you? —Jimbo Jambo
- I agree. it looks kind of sharp!

its not a nose.... it just hapens to look like one
crystal is on to something there but to put it in more proper terms the "nose" is not a "nose" rather it is a thorn. the pikmin would still be able to pick up chemical senses but it would just be through a different area and no you don't need lungs to pick up chemical signals.
this would explain why red pikmin do more damage. furthermore i would even venture to guess that it might have something to do with their immunity to fire. --Foutlet 01:17, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
May well not be a nose; it's just what people call it 'cause it's where our noses are. But there's nothing to say it is or isn't (unless Olimar made a note on it? If so, who knows if he's right?). Doubt it's related to immunity to fire; it's just a pointy thing on their faces. That's likely related to their skin/whatever it is they have.GP
I think it's a thorn to, and the extra damage comes from them stabbing the enemy their on with that thorn.
- I was thinking it was more of a thorn or other sharp object than a nose.--FREAK ~Game

On the topic of lungs
They can drown, yes? and blues survive with gills yes? water not being through skin, as roots-the blues would need all-over gills. They'd drown too, perhaps? Other Pikmin can go through water a bit, so long as it it shallow yes? And whistling saves. So yes, lungs are there.

Attack Power
How much attack power do red pikmin have? About 1.5 or 2 times the attack of a yellow, blue or white pikmin?

- Interstingly enough, I don't think it goes for enemies, but White Pikmin are faster at cutting down Pellet Posies than yellow or blue Pikmin. They simply attack faster, and each attack iss equal to a blue or yellow Pikmin. I wonder if they attack enemies faster though... IAMAHIPO_ocolor 08:44, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
I couldn't try the pellets thing, but I don't think they attack any different than a blue or a yellow. Snakeboss14
It is a nose
I just played a new file of Pikmin a few days ago, and yes, it is officially a nose. The Ship said so. I can't remember exactly when, but it is early in the game. If you want to see it for yourself, make sure you haven't discovered White Pikmin yet.Falcoz 06:09, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
